then the house reopens. but the which is really up, but you can see all the the the shoring that we're about to engage the house. you can actually see really very clearly. the the early framing of the house. so what we've got here again is a down brace. these are the diagonal braces that locking corners to keep the house square. you've got original 17 over here. we've got 70, 34 studs. the house was so had so much between 1734 and the 1770s that they actually had to put these extra pieces on the outside to square up the exterior of the walls. and then interesting this way, wherever we find these white posts, these were put in in the 1930. so this replaces the original 1734 corner post, which was eaten up by termites. but then next to it is the 1775 corner post for the south edition, which didn't get eaten up by termites. so it's kind of hit or miss what survived, what didn't survive from that early period. but we will be engaging with all this and then they'll be tied into this big steel framework in order t

i'm a house guy. so, yes, house in terms of making policy terms of setting polit creating politic ex resolving constitutional questions. so it's always been and always, in my opinion should be center to american governance. why? why it's really hard to add to that. i something very similar to my students but i think also that you know people about politics and so engage people and making sure that they know what the issues are and that they have the opportunity weigh in on them and not just told what they should. now is really important. but what can we learn from the 19th century? rachel, you spend life teaching and writing about that. i mean, i think i give the same lesson that katie does. and if you if you don't like the way things, just remember that they have been very different and they can always and we have not lived the same constitutional in the same political structure for all of american history. so there will be something in ten years. there will be something different next year. okay tha

long time ago i'm here again stating after hearing someone else going to housing a housing project has had new elections and he came here to speak for itself but we want the same thing from for plaza ese and we've been saying this to you guys for over three plus years now as well as our resident services will compel us to participate as a third party. so that is all i have to say today about is. but as a director executive director of a cbo, i'll continuously state that we are a diverse ethnic background. the plaza is our muslim residents are asking for halau food, not free food. our mandarin speakers and cantonese speakers are asking for our their asian markets to be used and our c d our d five supervisor is of muslim religion. he must be alerted of the continuous disrespect to even the muslims in our community. >> thank you. thank you. any more items on item seven a any more public comment on item seven a note online? >> all right, great. well we're now closed that item and just move on to item seven b that would be the chief executive officer of general communications. her ceo tony

that is the white house pool.how that pool is made up is you know historically been decided by the journalists themselves and to give you all the most basic configuration pool there were many different ones and that is where things get a little one of the [indiscernible] is it in the oval office, is it in the east room, are we on air force one, the van in washington, it leaves the beltway, it doesn't leave the beltway, the rules are different. let's say you are on air force one. the traditional pool, there are 13 seats on air force one designated for press and as a matter of you know eight [indiscernible] the fourth these are not gifted by taxpayers, they pay their freight on the plane, van transportation in washington and abroad, their hotel rooms, their food and services, internet, it is a fabulously expensive endeavor on the part of the press corps and in some ways now and actually no other world leader travels like that with the press corps that follows them around and documents you know the historic or the mu

the white house correspondent -- as a white house correspondent, i have worked with them. as a correspondent, you are supposed to seek the truth. you are supposed to provide and correct errors, you are supposed to identify your sources and then explain why. you should not be cutting a story with your own agenda. you should be explaining if you are quoting people who have their agenda and transparent to the public. does everybody do this? no, but that is what the white house correspondents association is supposed to stand for and that is role they have played. guest: i think if they followed your cues, we would be in a better place. the problem is many of those organizations do not do that, and many of the journalists don't do that. when you see new voices come in, and from the right and left, frankly, that are not part of a major media conglomerate, they would like to present those people like bari weiss, who was at the new york times, who set up an amazingly successful platform, that i would argue still adheres to a lot of the standards she has as a journalist. she could

house republican leaders were already embarrassed last week on the floor of the house of representatives was as a result shut down. the republicans scurries off a sinking ship last week. and it's strange because clearly a majority of the house, democrats and republicans, have expressed through the discharge petition and last week's rule vote, it is inherently reasonable to allow new mothers and expectant mothers to vote. it's not a republican or democratic thing. it's an american thing. but this speaks to a larger issue. the whole trump food the zone purchase is designed to create the appearance of inevitability. nothing was ever inevitable, as if democrats were going to roll over and allow it all to happen, the exact opposite has occurred. we'll never roll over in congress p. we're not rolling over in the courts. and we certainly aren't rolling over in campaign after campaign across the country where extremists are losing and on all those things that level of forceful positions to those hurting the american people directly or incorrectly in the case of this proxy issue will continue. se

so we didn't touch the instructions that the house gave. they can proceed with those and as we get into the reconciliation process, we're going to be very committed to doing as much as we possibly can on deficit reduction. i think as you saw there was a number in there. it was a $2 trillion number. the house was at $1.5 trillion. when they went through their budget resolution process. but i think right now in some ways these are we're speaking slightly different languages because the house and senate operate in such different ways. but at the end of the day what this does is it unlocks budget reconciliation. and unleashes all the things that we want to accomplish on behalf of the american people, and that can only happen when the house and the senate pass the same budget resolution. so i'm hopeful we'll be able to move on that, get the votes that are necessary to get it across the finish line so we can start the next phase of this, which is really where we start making law and deliver on our agenda. reporter: with respect to tariffs, the wh

priorities is affordable housing. and i just want to preface by saying that affordable housing has been a long standing issue with inner city but also within the youth commission. the youth commission has historically in the past few years made affordable housing a priority on our budget and policy priorities and this year has continued to be on our list of priorities that we see needs to be addressed. >> another thing that i want to highlight is that we have done extensive outreach this year across all all across the city in many different communities we've met with many different cbos and individuals and youth and one throughline that we saw throughout all those meetings was the need for more affordable housing whether that was with our trans community, with lyriq or with our budget forum at the main library that was something that we saw consistently. so with that being said, the youth commission would like to continue to prioritize the building of affordable housing in order to meet our state mandated housing elem

the house is having to accept that version. this is the fourth of eight steps to get the big, beautiful bill done. a republican from tennessee was a hold-out. he says that once they got those verbal commitments from the senate majority leader, john thune. there are a lot of meetings and conferences last night to be able to get to the senate and house on the same page. they were ready to go. this vote is still open. we can't call it just yet. mike johnson says they think they have the votes here. they should be on the same page sometime in the next ten minutes or less. the other thing to watch for, this is difficult here the past 24, 48 hours, this was supposed to be an easy step in this process. when they graduate to steps five and six, that's actually writing the bill. that will be harder yet. and the reason it was so complex right now, harris, is the house and senate are using a special budget process because they don't have 60 votes in the senate. they cannot overcome a filibuster. if you use this special budget process, the
